OPENAI
OpenAI has introduced Deep Research, an AI tool that collects and summarises information from the internet.
OpenAI claims it can complete research tasks in 5 to 30 minutes, compared to the hours or days a human might need.
Unlike chatbots, which generate text and images, Deep Research acts as an AI agent.
It can search the web, analyse documents, and put together reports.
In a demo for U.S. lawmakers, OpenAI showed how the tool created a detailed report on Albert Einstein, including background information and suggested interview questions.
Here’s what you should know:
Deep Research speeds up online research, completing tasks in minutes.
It provides sources but may still contain errors.
Currently available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, with wider access planned.

Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer, explained that the tool can read text, images, and PDFs while providing citations.
However, OpenAI warned that it may still produce errors, misinterpret data, or cite unreliable sources.
There’s another catch too. Deep Research is incredibly compute-intensive, meaning you’ll need the top-tier pro plan and even with it, you’ll still be limited to just 100 queries a month.
“Deep Research” sounds like what I pretend to do before I check Wikipedia.
